This was the bizarre scene as a couple rode naked on horseback down a residential street.

But it wasn't exactly Lady Godiva reborn - as the pair looked more than a little worse for wear in their birthday suits.

The video, taken in Urrao, Antioquia, in Colombia, has gone viral after the two were filmed riding the horse while naked down a quiet residential street one evening.

They even appear to make it perform a form of horse dance and get it to trot its back legs.

Passers-by whoop and shout as the two ride down the street.

Eventually, the man, who is completely naked, jumps off the horse and appears unsteady on his feet.

The woman, who is wearing nothing but knickers, then appears to berate some of the young men nearby who were apparently shouting obscenities.

According to reports on Colombian news site, colombia.com , the incident caused outrage among many community members who said there were children in the area at the time.

It is unclear whether the couple may face charges for their indecent exposure.

According to an English legend, Godiva, Countess of Mercia, rode naked – covered only in her long hair – through the streets of Coventry to gain a remission of the oppressive taxation that her husband imposed on his tenants.
